About Melandi
Melandi Murrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stressors. Melandi focuses on practical skills and clear goals in sessions.
Her work combines straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused techniques. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and try small changes that add up.
How Melandi works
Sessions are collaborative and geared toward the concerns a person brings today. Parents and young adults often come for support with sleep, parenting strain, school or work stress, and self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with grief, relationship and communication problems, impulsivity, and mood fluctuations such as seasonal affective disorder.
Career concerns, money stress, and finding life purpose are addressed in concrete steps. Melandi describes her style as warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs rather than a single fixed approach. When someone starts, she typically focuses on immediate goals and develops skills they can use between sessions. People leave sessions with specific strategies to practice and measurable steps to track progress.
Her aim is to support people as they try new ways of coping and making steady change.

How Melandi's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Melandi uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day stress by focusing on skills a person can practice between sessions.She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping with grief or chronic mood fluctuations.
Solution-focused therapy is part of her work when people want clear, short-term goals. This approach highlights strengths and small steps that lead toward immediate improvements in relationships, work issues, or parenting challenges.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adapt steps based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to emphasize as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
